39. Nissan Juke S $21,190

The funky-looking Juke has the raised ride height and optional AWD of an SUV, but with very carlike handling and maneuverability. A continuously variable transmission is standard. It’s powered by a 188-hp 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder with front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional.

Unfortunately, a CVT is the only available transmission, which makes the driving experience less enjoyable. Juke is perfect for those who want a spry and speedy little runabout that also stands out in traffic.
